歌词
He'll make you mow the grass and do it for free
他会叫你去锄草 还不给你服务费
When you think you're done he'll say rake the leaves
每当你以为做完了 他又会让你去扫树叶
He'll say it builds character but it's 90 degrees
他说这是怡情养性 可你只觉得热得要死
You'll cuss him under your breath
你会禁不住小声骂他
He won't let you quit your football team
他不会强迫你退出足球队
Or hang with the kid who lives down the street
但他不让你和街上的孩子玩
'Cause he heard he smokes dope and got holes in his jeans
因为他听说 那些孩子天天吸烟 把牛仔裤整得到处是洞
Lookin' back he was right, I guess
如今再回首 我想他当初是对的
Things dads do
这就是我爸爸的作风
Act like he does when he don't have a clue and I know it seems
每当他毫无头绪 却总要表现出很懂的样子
Like he's flying by the seat of his outa style jeans
我便知道 这就如同 他飞过那放着牛仔裤的座位
You'll get embarrassed when he ruins your cool
每次他让你 心烦意乱 你都会尴尬无比
When he pulls out his camera on your first day of school
在你第一天上学时 他拿出相机 将这一刻拍下
And that's just a few of things dads do
其实父亲做的事不过这些
He hands you the keys to a hand-me-down truck
他把卡车钥匙 交给了你 那是你们的传家宝
And take 'em right back when you tear it up
结果它撞坏了 你把它开了回来
On your first broken heart he'll say son, tell you what
第一次如此心碎 他却说:"儿子啊 你听我说"
Let's talk it out over a beer
"出去喝点啤酒吧"
And when you get married he'll be your best man
当你终于结婚 他又自愿出任你的伴郎
Pay for the booze and a bad cover band
为你求来了酒席与封面乐队
And he'll give a long speech and say this was God's plan
他会讲些长篇大论 说这都是命运的安排
And try not to cry but he will
他竭力忍住泪水 最终却还是破了防
Things dads do
这就是父亲的所为
Give you his old recliner for your new living room and he'll call too much
他给了你那把旧躺椅 让你躺在新家客厅里 而他也会频频打给你
And out of the blue without asking to show up he'll give you advise about your career
然后突然间 不请自来地 为你的事业道路 指明方向
And complain and ask why your fridge is full of weird beer
还会抱怨你冰箱里为何那么多奇怪的啤酒
That's just a few of things dads do
其实父亲做的事不过这些
Things dads do
父爱仅此而已
Sit in the waitin' room chewing Red Man
坐在等候室嚼着Red Man
'Till the doctor comes out and says y'all come on in
直到医生叫你们进去
He'll say she looks perfect then and shake your hand and say now you'll understand
他会惊叹她的美貌 激动地摇晃你的手 说你现在该明白了吧
Things dads do
父亲总是喜欢做这种事
You'll think it's crazy 'till you're one too and you'll lose your mind
你会觉得这很离谱 直到你也变成这样 那时你几乎会疯掉
In a couple of years sleepin' just three months time
几年里 睡眠时间 可谓屈指可数
Next thing you know one's five and one's three
接下来你发现两个孩子也长大了
And one's almost one and she's cuttin' her teeth
男孩已经成熟 女孩才刚刚长牙
And you're in his shoes
现在你也成了父亲
And you're startin' to do more than a few things dads do
于是你开始扛起 比父亲更繁重的责任
